Representation Theory of Finite Groups

Representation Theory Of Finite Groups

In mathematics, representation theory is a technique for analyzing abstract groups in terms of groups of linear transformations. See the article on group representations for an introduction. This article discusses the representation theory of groups that have a finite number of elements.

Famous quotes containing the words theory, finite and/or groups:

    “A theory if you hold it hard enough
    And long enough gets rated as a creed....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
    —David Lodge (b. 1935)

    “Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
